Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]He wasn't really known
for breaking the rules
When he arrived in the second
year of [G]my high school
He [D]wasn't so much of a twist of fate
As a [A]short turn up from
a Southern state
He was [D]born with a sweet
tooth he couldn't beat
Always trying to find himself
[G]something sweet
[D]All that he found was a trouble and me
Or maybe [A]trouble just found him

[Verse 2]
It was [D]hard to hide that
his heart had scars
He would stay up late
talking to the [G]stars
People [D]tried to blame him
for making bad choices
When [A]he was only listening to the voices
And [D]searching for some kind
of deeper truth
Between the lines and the Bible
and liv[G]ing proof
There's [D]no point now
to judge him in vain
If you [A]haven't been there,

[Verse 3]
you don't know the pain
[D]He was a liar, but not a fraud
[A]Living proof that there was [D]no God
[G]Just the devil, stiff as a rod
[A]A slave [G]to [D]a sugartooth

[Verse 4]
His life became more than he [D]could take
He found a bad habit
he couldn't [G]break
[D]Nothing could tame him and
nothing could hold him
He [A]only took the pills when the
doctor told him
[D]Looking to help for the something sweet
To make his life feel less in[G]complete
[D]What in the hell are you going to do
When the [A]world has made
its mind up about you?
[D]He was a liar, but

[Verse 5]
not a fraud
[A]Living proof that there was [D]no God
[G]Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
[A]A slave to [G]a s[D]ugartooth
He [Bm]wanted to be

[Verse 6]
a better man
Then life [A]kicked him down like an old [D]tin can
[G]He would give you the shirt on his back
If [A]not for [G]a s[D]ugartooth They
found him lying on his bed
With a gun in his hand and a quiet [G]head
His [D]broken heart, now, is finally gone
But I [A]know that he had to hurt for too long
To [D]think he had fought it all on his own
Just to lose the battle and die [G]alone
After [D]so many years of feeling the loss
He [A]fi nally made [G]his way [A]back [D]home

[Verse 7]
And I [D]heard they put what was left in a box
And took it to a place called [G]Je sus Rock
And [D]scattered him all over jagged mound
As a sym[A]bol to all that
the peace had been found
But [D]not for a sign is left behind
With a hand stuck reaching back [G]in time
To a [D]place in which you can never unwind
I hope he [A]found something so sweet

[Verse 8]
[D]He was a liar, but not a fraud
[A]Living proof that there was [D]no God
[G]Just the Devil, stiff as a rod
[A]A slave [G]to [D]a sugartooth

[Verse 9]
He [Bm]wanted to be a better man
But life [A]kicked him down
like an old [D]tin [G]can
He would give you the shirt on his back
If [A]not for [G]a sugartooth
[D]

[Verse 10]
Ooh, [G]ooh, ooh,
[D]a sla[A]ve to [G]a s[D]ugartooth
[G]Ooh, [D]ooh, ooh,
a [A]slave [G]to a s[D]ugartooth
Oo[G]h, [D]ooh, ooh,
a [A]slave [G]to a sugar[D]tooth
Ooh, [G]ooh, ooh, a [D]sla[A]ve to a s[G]ugartooth[D]
